  Weave across the section. The weave should have distinct strands of the hair with defined spaces between them. Apply Formula 1 (7.1 + 20-volume Oxid’o) from roots to ends.

  Lift the first foil and weave the hair directly between the weave and the foil above. Apply Formula 2 (6.4 + 7.21 + 30-volume Oxid’o) from the midlengths to ends of the hair.

  Lift foil two away and weave directly between the weave and the foil below. Apply Formula 3 (8.4 + 10.21 + 40-volume Oxid’o) only to the ends of the hair.

  Repeat these three foils in 1 ½-inch (3 cm) intervals working up the head. When you reach the ears, wrap the sections around the head in a horseshoe shape.
